Some movie clips from YouTube:

First, a promotional film from the New York Central called "Flight of the Century," featuring the 20th Century Limited in 1935, before streamlining.  Sound quality is horrid, but I like the music selection at about 7:00, which alternately contrasts with bouncing engine cabs and complements the ride in the Pullmans.  And at about 10:00, the music changes to "Dance of the Hours," which many of us know as a novelty tune about summer camp, "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah:"
